NY/NJ Hudson River Crossings Toll Increase Holy Cow!

So when I take the local route on 46 and stay on the left it narrows down to one lane. You can make a right into Ft Lee, I see vehicles lined up on the right side.

Those people are waiting for strangers to ride (Car Pool Dummies) for the the car pool rate?

Then they must have to exit in Manhattan or Bronx. UGH!

I keep on truckin over to Queens. No way I am stopping for a dummy!

Old article also says that the cops don't like the practice.

Yes, most of them are going to Manhattan. People who are going to Queens don't stop, because all the passengers are going to Manhattan. It's a very quick ride unless there's a ton of traffic.

Okay. It's not for everybody. As a passenger, I usually pay for a jitney over the bridge. I'm not big on getting into a stranger's car, although I've met some nice people that way.

The police have announced that they will no longer ticket for this. It's been okay for the past 18 months or so.
